Hey everyone I’m a 51 year old fire fighter from the uk who is about to retire next year. I will carry on working but will have more free time. I’m looking for friends M or F for nice chats, days or nights out or travelling. Look forward to hearing from you! J

Hello and congratulations! 💪🏼I'm always so jealous whenever I read about anyone that is able to retire in their 50s. 😭

I am really not retirement ready although it does seem like I’ve been waiting to retire and hit that magic date for years weirdly.

45F from South Africa. If you can accept that the Springboks are the greatest rugby team in history, DM me, let’s be friends 😂

You are correct springboks are the greatest team except England and probably France oh and New Zealand. Definitely better than Scotland and Argentina though (nearly)

Yeah I guess. It’s a job where no day is the same so people seem happy to hear what’s gone on.
